I would agree entirely. Comfy and light, but fresh out the box didn't offer the downhill grip I'm after. Was only going to use them on muddier/winter races/training as I use Xtalons for fell racing, but have been told the 300's grip is much better and the 'extra' weight doesn't have much affect - the 300s a great all round (fell) racer I've been told by someone who should know!

I'm getting a little fed up with Inov. I love the old 315s and the Mudclaw 300 but the replacements don't last very long. So I'm trying out a cheaper... much cleaper alternative - More Miles Cheviot 2. You can get 2-3 pairs for the the price of new Inovs. Great grip and super comfortable!
